The Difference You Make

The Difference You Make

When you donate to Goodwill, you’ve taken the opportunity to become a job creator and make a significant difference in the lives of individuals living in your community.

Every time you donate to Goodwill you are creating work for someone who needs it. You fuel our mission of changing lives through the power of WORK. First, you help create the jobs at Goodwill – now more than 700 people work in our Community Stores to process and sell your items at our recycling centre and on other business platforms we created with the help of your donations.

Second, all of the profits generated from our businesses help fund job training, employee and family strengthening programs and employment services. We serve thousands of job seekers each year and place many in good jobs in the community. And you are helping those who need help the most – people with disabilities and those who face social disadvantage and are marginalized, such as at-risk youth and those challenged by tough unemployment times.

And your help goes even further – you also support the environment through recycling, provide families and people in need access to affordable goods and above all you strengthening communities because when people work, communities work!
